Rejection is a Very Good Teacher!

Rejection and failure are part of life. They are also very good teachers in themselves. Many of us do not fight merely to avoid rejection. We fear rejection a lot. Rejections at early stages of struggle are quite common. It happens to all talented people without any Godfather or money power. But as a river makes its own course, a persistent person also makes his way. Many AMIE aspirants quit AMIE even at an early stage only due to fear of rejection at a later stage. This is not a good practice.

Remember the quote by Michael Jordan. He said, " I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."
Let us consider the life of few people who have been rejected during their period of struggle. These people changed the world when they get their big break.

Here are some of the most popular and brilliant, who did not get demoralized by a big NO.
